Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

The requirement for a specific percentage of one and two bedroomed dwellings should be deleted. People aspire to larger dwellings. Concern has been expressed about the provision of large numbers of small dwellings e.g. the SEEDA commissioned DTZ 2007 Report on Housing Type and Size in the South East. Further, experience in the planning of the Udimore Road, Rye site has shown that the affordable requirement (that at 40% is a significant element of the whole) does not necessarily correspond with the specified percentage and accordingly places a disproportionate requirement on the open market element to respect such percentage.
